Alyssa D’Amico

Cartoon Maniac

I am a cartoon maniac and addict
Age doesn’t matter
But only the 20th century will do
Not too kiddy
Just Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, WB Saturday and certain Disney’s
Those old Friday’s were so much fun
An apple a day will keep the doctor away, but not Kids WB
I’m as insane as Animaniac
Cute as Dot
Childish like Tiny Toons
Curious as Cow and Chicken
Trouble maker like Alvin
Brave as Wonder Woman
Annoying like The Tick
Dangerous as Stimpy
Investigator like Inspector Gadget
Quick as Sonic the Hedgehog
Smart like the Brain
Scared as Nightmare Ned
Fight like The Angary Beavers
Powerful as a Power Puff Girl
Can transform like the Pink Ranger
Friendly as Todd
Fearless like Courage the Cowardly Dog
Loving as Belle
Delicate like a Rugrat
Evil as The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy
Mean like Magneto
Funny as Fairly Odd Parents
Beautiful like Jessica Rabbit
Imaginative as Chalk Zone
Gambler like Fred Flintstone
Creative as Dr. Seuss
Lost like Ed, Edd, and Eddy
Determined as Dexter
Athletic like Rocket Power
Talkative as Yogi
Wild like Taz
Strange as Creepy Crawlers
In out of space like a Jetson
Because I am a cartoon maniac and addict
Age doesn’t matter
